Doctor did not mention about pill cam yet!!

He saw an endocrinologist long time back. Will check with his primary care doctor during his annual visit in July. Thank you for your inputs

it makes me wonder too about where is he having problems? We got second opinion once in 2015 (after his diagnosis) at University of Michigan. They confirmed his Crohn's diagnosis. What else could it be if not Crohn's? His Cdiff and bacterial culture came back negative. His blood work comes out...

.5" in 3 months.., not 3 weeks :D

Thank you everyone for your inputs & suggestions. We did repeat fec-cal & it came back 2000. We are in the process of first moving to UofM (CS Motts Ann Arbor). We have good opinion from that hospital. It will take at least couple of months, if not more for the move to happen (insurance...

He has grown 0.5 inches since last update.

Hi, Did any of you got your teen vaccinated? Myself & my husband had very bad reactions to covid vaccine (Pfizer). We both had very sore & swollen lymph nodes (on our neck). We had it for 10 days and were not able to move our neck. It was really really bad. I had to get an ultrasound of my...

I am a silent follower of your thread. Keeping you & O in my prayers. Stay strong my friend🤗

Hi All, I'm back with not so good news :( My son fec cal is 1800 and everything else is normal. I'm pushing for pill cam & doctor is not up for it(he resists for every thing.!!). I really really want to change the doctor. He's no good at all. I asked the doc, can he take covid vaccine, the doc...

Thank you very much

What symptoms did you have? Was your fec cal high? My son seems to be in a similar situation as you. Wondering if I should push his GI for a pill cam,

No pill cam because doctor did not see any problem with MRE. He said, everything looks good. And to top it, my son said.., i'm perfectly fine. I do not have any issues. So, there was no reason from myside to push for more tests. Doctor wants to perform a repeat cal pro. I can ask for c-diff or...

Hello All, An update about my son. He had his MRE last week and we met with his doctor yesterday. His MRE isn't showing any signs of inflammation in the small intestine. Nothing unusual. He has a very little narrowing in this sigmoid colon. That is the area that affected him all throughout his...

My son took Vancomycin couple of times for C-diff infection. It did wonders. He had recurring C-diff infections & the only drug that worked for him was Vancomycin. Hope your kiddo feels better really soon 🙏🙏

Biopsy results are back. His duodenum, TI is free of inflammation. Stomach is fine too. In colon, they see very little focal activity (does that mean.., he has inflammation there?) Doctor is surprised by his fec cal number (1400). Doctor wants to perform an MRE before adding MTX. And, doctor is...

Thank you for mentioning about insurance. Will check on it. His disease activity didn’t involve small intestine before. We did MRE just after diagnosis to check if small intestine is involved. Any advantage of doing pill cam? I thought MRE was enough to check for inflammation in small...

Hello all, Update: His colonoscopy & endoscopy was done this morning. From the external view, the colon looked pink & healthy. Same was the case with stomach & duodenum. Doctor asked us to wait for biopsy results & might plan for MRE too. His previous scope (in 2019) showed redness in...

Any idea about 80mg Humira, weekly? Is that an option?

He never takes NSAIDs, so that option is ruled out. This has to be flaring up. My son took budesonide twice. One time, it worked wonders. Second time, it did nothing!! Even the doctor is not pushing for steroids. He said, based on the results from the scope, we might take a call. Cannot think of...

I am trying to rule out all possibilities of this drug before moving on to another one. I completely agree on puberty part. Thank you very much for your inputs.
